There are a lot of articles out there that suggests free agency is over-rated (as usual, Neil Paine has one of the better ones). But today I want to look at the question from a different perspective: instead of looking at how teams who are active in free agency have fared, what is we look [&#8230;]2015-03-30 00:35:583/29: SideLion Report- Detroit Lions Have Options to Fill 2015 NFL Draft Gaphttp://sidelionreport.com/2015/03/29/detroit-lions-have-options-to-fill-2015-nfl-draft-gap/
The Detroit Lions have a hole in their 2015 NFL Draft thanks to the trade that brought them Haloti Ngata from the Baltimore Ravens. As it stands now, the Lions will be waiting a while to get their turn on day three of the draft as a result of sending their fourth and fifth round picks to the Ravens.2015-03-29 19:38:223/27: With the First Pick- NFL Draft 2015: Detroit Lions Team Needshttp://withthefirstpick.com/2015/03/27/nfl-draft-2015-detroit-lions-team-needs/

Oakland Raiders&#039; GM Reggie McKenzie is perhaps re-learning something most all of us are taught as children &#8211; no matter what you do, you&#039;re never going to make everybody happy.

Before 2014, not many NFL scouts were drooling over (or even knew about) defensive lineman Marcus Hardison. In 2011 and 2012 Hardison was building his football resume at Dodge City Community College. In 2013, as a junior, Hardison played at Arizona State University, though sparingly.

Forget about Ryan Tannehill and Ndamukong Suh, there are five other players that the Miami Dolphins need to step up for the 2015 season to be a success. Sure the season will ride on the arm of Tannehill and on the run stopping ability of Suh but the youth movement in Miami might expose holes that co2015-03-25 16:45:073/25: Buccaneers Observer- McCoy trade worth consideringhttp://www.buccaneersobserver.com/analysis/player-analysis/mccoy-trade-worth-considering/

The Oakland Raiders need a solid 2015 NFL Draft class if they are to restore the glory days of old.

The Miami Dolphins have made a habit of being major players in free agency and this offseason has been no exception.

The Detroit Lions need to add some talented youth to their secondary. If they decide to draft a cornerback in the first round, they should have a few options. WouldKevin Johnson be a good pick?

The Miami Dolphins have made a splash in Free Agency the past few years, and this off season has been no different.

No, the Oakland Raiders&#039; offseason hasn&#039;t gone entirely as planned &#8211; specifically regarding free agency.

No, it hasn&#039;t been the offseason Reggie McKenzie and the Oakland Raiders faithful had hoped for.
